Disclaimer
This utility is effectively in beta. Use this software at your own risk. Make sure to back up your maFiles regularly, and make sure to actually write down your revocation code. If you lose both of these, we can't help you, your only recourse is to beg Steam support.

If you have the Rust toolchain installed:
cargo install steamguard-cli
Otherwise, you can download binaries from the releases.
Building From Source
cargo build --release
Usage
steamguard-cli looks for your maFiles folder in the current user's home directory (eg. ~/maFiles/).

steamguard-cli using the setup action (steamguard setup).
REMEMBER TO MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR maFiles, AND TO WRITE DOWN YOUR RECOVERY CODE!
